“…Culture/morphology-based analyses have recovered fungi from marine samples [ 16 , 17 ], yet the diversity recovered is much lower than that of terrestrial environments. For example, Kis-Papo [ 18 ] reported 467 marine species of fungi from 244 genera, while Hyde et al [ 19 ] report 444 species, both results are equivalent to less than 1% of described fungal species at the time of these analyses.…”

Molecular diversity and distribution of marine fungi across 130 European environmental samples

Environmental DNA and culture-based analyses have suggested that fungi are present in low diversity and in low abundance in many marine environments, especially in the upper water column. Here, we use a dual approach involving high-throughput diversity tag sequencing from both DNA and RNA templates and fluorescent cell counts to evaluate the diversity and relative abundance of fungi across marine samples taken from six European near-shore sites. We removed very rare fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) selecting only OTUs recovered from multiple samples for a detailed analysis. This approach identified a set of 71 fungal ‘OTU clusters' that account for 66% of all the sequences assigned to the Fungi. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that this diversity includes a significant number of chytrid-like lineages that had not been previously described, indicating that the marine environment encompasses a number of zoosporic fungi that are new to taxonomic inventories. Using the sequence datasets, we identified cases where fungal OTUs were sampled across multiple geographical sites and between different sampling depths. This was especially clear in one relatively abundant and diverse phylogroup tentatively named Novel Chytrid-Like-Clade 1 (NCLC1). For comparison, a subset of the water column samples was also investigated using fluorescent microscopy to examine the abundance of eukaryotes with chitin cell walls. Comparisons of relative abundance of RNA-derived fungal tag sequences and chitin cell-wall counts demonstrate that fungi constitute a low fraction of the eukaryotic community in these water column samples. Taken together, these results demonstrate the phylogenetic position and environmental distribution of 71 lineages, improving our understanding of the diversity and abundance of fungi in marine environments.

“…Marine fungi comprise a small and ecologically defined group of filamentous ascomycetes, their anamorphs and yeasts (Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer, 1979), but they have been little studied until now. Described higher marine fungi are listed as 467 species belonging to 244 genera (Kis‐Papo, 2005). Fungi from aquatic and marine habitats have received much attention in recent years to assess their diversity and to elucidate their ecological role (Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer, 1979; Hyde et al ., 2000; Shearer et al ., 2007).…”

As now very few studies have been carried out on deep-sea marine fungi, this field remains relatively unknown. However, their presence inside benthic microbial eukaryotes at deep-sea vents was recently pointed out from molecular microbial ecology studies. We report here an attempt to describe the culturable part of mycological communities in deep-sea vent ecosystems that is an important step in understanding their diversity, abundance and function. Physiological characterization revealed strains that are more or less adapted to deep-sea conditions. Those results suggest the presence of true marine organisms and other more ubiquitous. Phylogenetical characterization highly correlated to physiological data revealed the presence of fungi that have been previously described and unknown ones until now, belonging to new taxonomic groups. This survey encourages for further work in order to complete descriptions and also to describe the ecological role of these organisms in such extreme environments.

“…These results may be reflecting the different physical attributes of our study sites in the type, age and density of mangrove stand and the type of substrate collected from the sites [34,36,38]. In addition, Kis-Papo [40] and Jones [36] stated that fungal diversity may differ from one mangrove to another within the same region. Overall, there is no doubt that these sites harbour an interesting diversity of fungi and potentially a greater number of species should more studies be done.…”

“…The higher number of fungi recorded may also be related to higher mangrove diversity at the particular location [14,38]. Kohlmeyer [39], Jones [36] and Kis-Papo [40] stated that geographical distribution and the temperature of the sea are key factors that govern the diversity of marine fungi. The present study is the first attempt to study fungal diversity in the Sulu-Sulawesi marine eco-region that is widely known to hold some of the world's highest concentrations of marine biodiversity.…”

Jambongan, Mandidarah and Malawali Islands in the Sulu Sea were chosen for studying marine manglicolous fungi in 2009. Driftwood, prop roots, pneumatophores, subterranean roots, rhizomes, overhanging branches and twigs of mangrove trees were examined for the presence of marine fungi. A total of 173 samples yielded 78 marine manglicolous taxa: 66 Ascomycota, 17 anamorphic morphs and one Basidiomycota. Based on percentage occurrence, the dominating taxa at Jambongan Island were Aniptodera sp. (27.5%), Sphaerulina oraemaris (24.1%) and Rhizophila marina (17.2%); Mandidarah Island were Trichocladium alopallonellum (33.3%) and Pleospora sp. 1 (13.3%) and Sphaerulina orae-maris (11.7%); and Malawali Island were Savoryella lignicola (36.4%) and Halorosellinia oceanica (20.0%). Based on Shannon Diversity Index, Jambongan Island harboured the highest diversity of marine manglicolous fungi (3.15), followed by Malawali Island (2.95) and Mandidarah Island (2.87). Sorenson Similarity Index showed that the species composition between the three study sites were dissimilar. Twelve new records of marine fungi were documented in this study which warrants further study in the area. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study sites The sampling was undertaken from 23 rd June to 27 th June 2009 at three chosen continental islands of the Sulu Sea off the northeast coast of Sabah (Figure 1): Jambongan Island (N 6°38'36.58", E
